Mossoff Op-ed on Tesla Motors

“[T]his new policy is not an abandonment of patent rights in
favor of the public domain but rather an exercise of his company's patent
rights,” Mossoff said. “In exchange for using Tesla's patents, the users of
Tesla's patents cannot file patent-infringement lawsuits against Tesla if Tesla
uses their patents. This is a classic deal made between businesses — you can
use my property and I can use your property, and we cannot sue each other.”
